I'm usually the last one expected to give a helpful kitchen tip, but here's a good one I picked up. (It's on my mind as I also put some of the girl's eggs on to boil.)-- If you're making hard boiled eggs add plenty of salt to the water and the eggs will peel like a dream. Now I don't mean just a pinch of salt. Add like a tablespoon--go ahead, salt's cheap. I don't know why it works, but it does.
The potatoes look yummy! My dad was a potato farmer and he said the best potatoes are "reds". Thanks for the tip with the salt; will have to try that next time I am craving egg salad! No Easter eggs here, grandchildren live in Washington.
ReplyDeleteHey Mary Ann, good to hear from you! Was it fun to grow up on a farm or just a whole lot of work? I LOVE just about anything potato, but the reds are my favorite too, especially if I'm just going to boil 'em.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE new potatoes. Memories of my Dad digging them out of the hay/garden and boiling them and we would just pop them in butter and salt and our mouths. Yum.
